Video courtesy of Alan J shows large pieces of burning material spilling down from a blaze engulfing the 84-storey Torch Tower in Dubai in the early hours of Friday morning, marking the second time the building has experienced a major fire in just two years. Emergency services converged around the fifth tallest residential building in the United Arab Emirates, fighting the flames and rescuing residents still trapped in the tower.
Video credited to Jason Chu shows an unidentified man climbing the Trump Tower on 56th St. in New York City on Wednesday, using giant suction cups. The man scaled 20 floors of the 58-story building for two hours before police attempted to apprehend the man by knocking out one of the outer windows near the 16th floor of the building. Police also set up large inflatable cushions outside the building, in case the unknown climber fell.
